Movie #1007 "Half Brother" was the second movie I saw in the Phoenix Film Festival 2015, and it was quite good. I found out in a Q & A with the director that it was shot in 16 days, but I was praising the cinematography and esp. the editing! I also found it quite gutsy to tackle this subject --- the effects divorce has on not only the immediate family, but the step children, as well. Here Michael goes home to seek support from his "family" after his girlfriend dumps him for another guy, and he loses his job and apartment as a result. But when he gets "home" he finds it in turmoil, and that he ends up working through his "grief" by helping them with theirs. It's a sticky story, but it is handled with humor and reality, and I really liked it and recommend it!
